Annotations list

The annotations list shows a list of available annotations you can use to view annotated data. Various options are available to filter the list based on tags and on the current dashboard.

Configuration options

The following section describes the configuration options available in the panel editor pane for this visualization. These options are, as much as possible, ordered as they appear in Grafana.

Panel options

In the Panel options section of the panel editor pane, set basic options like panel title and description, as well as panel links. To learn more, refer to Configure panel options.

The following options control the source query for the list of annotations:

Option	Description

Time Range	Specify whether the list should be limited to the current time range.
Tags	Filter the annotations by tags. You can add multiple tags to refine the list. Optionally, leave the tag list empty and filter in view mode by selecting tags that are listed as part of the results on the panel itself.
Limit	Limit the number of results returned.

Query filter

Use the Query filter option to create a list of annotations from all dashboards in your organization or the current dashboard in which this panel is located. Choose from:
